What to Bring
Beginning students need not purchase the expensive Irish Dance Shoes. Black split-bottom jazz shoes work fine for the first several classes. Even when a student begins to compete, jazz shoes work just fine the first couple of times.
When a student advances to the "Beginner" level in competitions, this is the time to purchase a pair of good Irish Shoes. Kereen O'Connor frequently sells used Irish Shoes. Her contact information can be found on our Links page.
Many students find it helpful to carry a pair of extra socks, a water bottle, and their dance shoes in a bag to dance class, in order to keep everything together during practice. Be sure to have your t-shirt/tank top and a pair of shorts for class, too, so your teacher can see your knees, feet, and body line!
